Noah Wyle on Eddie Murphy
He Told Me To F*** Off When I Was 9!!!

Noah Wyle may is the Sexiest Man Alive … but Eddie Murphy apparently didn’t think he was all that special as a kid … telling the future star to “f*** off” when he asked for an autograph.
“The Pitt” actor recalled the savage snub during this week’s episode of “Good Hang with Amy Poehler” … revealing he was just 9 years old when he approached Eddie and told him how much he loved watching him on “Saturday Night Live.”
Eddie’s first response? “What are you doing up that late?” … but when Noah pressed him for an autograph, the comedian allegedly fired back, “F*** off, man.”
Ouch … that’ll stick with a kid.
And it certainly stuck with Noah … he says the encounter is why he never turns down a young fan asking for his signature.
But here’s the sweet twist … Noah’s 10-year-old daughter, Frances, decided to right Eddie’s wrong for his birthday last year, surprising her dad with the autograph he’d wanted for decades.
Well, sort of … she printed out a photo of Eddie and forged a sweet message from the comedian, even misspelling his name as “Eddy.”
Noah says he loved the gift so much he framed it in his office … while Amy got a kick out of the whole ordeal, joking that maybe people have gotten a little too nice to kids these days.
Guess Noah got the last laugh … the best autograph was the one Eddie never signed.
